Jonathan Bird, Emmy Award-winning underwater cinematographer, is leading a small number of underwater photography courses and photo-safaris to exciting diving destinations around the world. These trips all have one thing in common: exceptional diving with incredible photo opportunities and small groups of people where everyone can get great pictures and video.
